Does anyone know what eBay, PayPal and industry consider to be a mobile view or sale?
I have to assume for ebay it means something viewed and or sold on the eBay mobile app for eBay. Or perhaps anything that goes through the eBay mobile site (m.ebay.com).
I ask because from a physical point of view, a laptop is mobile but you use it with a regular browser like a desktop. A smartphone or tablet can use a regular browser instead of the mobile app available also. A tablet like the iPad is large enough to be like a laptop and it is easier to use the Safari browser on it instead of the clunky limited eBay app.
I will use an iPad to view the forums and read and browse listings. I do not list with iPad. I have tried the eBay mobile app out of curiosity on the ipad but it really sucks compared to the browser based eBay. Perhaps I am too firmly entrenched in desktops and browsers.
I also have viewed the forums on a smartphone using the mobile site views and browsed listings too to get a feel for "shopping" on eBay. I find doing anything on a smaller smartphone through the app to be challenging to "shop" let alone get an idea of what you are seeing and buying even with the zoom available on smartphones.
I guess I am too old school desktop orientated.
